Over a month has gone by since CTV Edmonton axed local amateur sports (as well as solid pro Greyson Knutson in the process). To date, the move has not sent me over to Global and probably never will. I'm a CTV guy through & through and apparently pretty much anything short of the dismissal of the iconic Daryl McIntyre won't change that.

It's too bad the sports was axed - sport guys always have the most personality in a newscast. But CBC seems very amateur and Global very US-style plastic, so CTV is it for me. Losing local sports coverage is a real shame for local sports groups, ending a long involvement with the community.

Shanelle Kaul's last day as the weekend news anchor was tonight. She is going to her hometown Toronto to work at CP24 (CTV affiliate). Bianca Millions gave her a gift bag at the end of the 6pm newscast.

Can't believe I missed this, but former CTV Edmonton Sports Reporter Bryan Mudryk is now doing play-by-play for the Habs and Sens on TSN's regional NHL broadcasts. He actually sounds good doing it, too!

I'm excited to (belatedly) announce that I'll now be hosting and producing segments for CTV Morning Live Edmonton full time. I'm thrilled to be able to exercise my creativity, be out in the community, and have fun on TV! ..but still fill in on weather here and there

Exactly what I was suspecting a couple of posts up. Those mini 'support' snips were indicators to me.
